Children should be able to live a life free from risks. It is the role of the government to provide a safer space where greater inclusion of children is involved in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.

The week-long summer art workshop, conducted by the Tambayan Center for Children’s Rights Inc., was participated by 35 children from the coastal areas of Brgy. 21-C, 22-C and 23-C Boulevard, Davao City.

The workshop aims to train children to be ambassadors on disaster risk reduction and child protection in emergency with the use of social media and video as the medium.

All eyes on screen as children of Tambayan are attentively viewing their output video.

Kids were tasked to create an information campaign on measures to prepare for a disaster through arts such as visual arts, singing, theater, dancing and public speaking.
